Akpos, a Ghanian, just
got admission into one of the Nigerian
institutions. At the first
day of lecture, the
following conversation
erupted…..
The Lecturer said, “let’s
begin by reviewing
some Nigerian history.”
The Lecturer asked who
said, “I shall return to
die in the land of my
fathers?”
She saw a sea of blank
faces, except for
Akpos,who had his hand
up. Akpos replied: “King
Jaja of Opobo,
1875″”very good! ” said
lecturer.
Then, she asked again,
who said, “The land use
act will feed the
nation?” Again, no
response except from
Akpos:”Obasanjo ,
1976.”The Lecturer
snapped at the class;
“class, you should be
ashamed. Akpos, who is
new to our Country,
knows more about our
history than you do.”

Wonders they say, will never cease. This age-old expression was captured in Atakunmosa East of Osun State, recently, when a man wielding a double-barreled gun, stormed into his brother's room t night and shot him to death. The cause? It was a minor argument over a plot of land belonging to both brothers.
